West Central Conference Meet

Yellow Medicine East’s Jacob Carroll is now the West Central Conference’s champion cross country runner after running 17:59 and taking first place at the conference meet Tuesday in Paynesville.

Carroll finished seven seconds better than second place runner Ryan Maroney from Montevideo.

As a team, the YME boys finished a somewhat disappointing fourth as they got edged out by BOLD and Sauk Centre—two teams the Sting have beaten in previous meets. Just six placing points separated second place BOLD from fourth place YME.

The YME girls, meanwhile, would place fifth at the meet. They were led for the first time this season by eighth-grader Katlyn Ladwig, who clocked a time of 19:08 and placed twenty-fifth. Fellow youngster Cassie Weir followed her in twenty-sixth place.
